Chicago Blue

Kay Riley always figured she had time to get her act together. Time just ran out.

Framed for a deadly bombing, she loses her badge, her freedom, and any margin for error. Now, she’s Chicago’s most wanted. To clear her name, she’ll need more than just sarcasm and stubbornness—she’ll need nerve, wit, and a few friends willing to break the law.

But every move pulls her deeper into a conspiracy she doesn’t understand, and the police are closing in. With time running out, Riley makes one last, desperate play—a plan so reckless, so unexpected, it just might work.

The clock is ticking. The truth is buried. And nothing, absolutely nothing, will prepare her for what’s coming.

“I loved this book. The main character never allowed herself to become a victim, but fought to hang onto her life. The action was constant and believable, and the plot kept me guessing until the end.” –Amazon Reviewer

Praise for “The Day Jesus Moved Next Door”:
“Kicking back with this book felt like sitting on a porch swing watching a storm roll in—comforting in an unexpected way. It wasn’t just about spiritual battles or divine drop-ins; it was more about the folks next door figuring life out one hard knock at a time. The mix of everyday drama with those big, universe-pondering questions got me thinking more than I expected. It wasn’t all heavy, though—the laughs were genuine, and I really got a kick out of some of the lighter moments. What truly stuck with me was how raw the conversations felt, especially those deep night chats that seemed to pause the rain itself. It’s solid, makes you feel something real, and by the end, you might just see your own little world a bit differently.” Jordan Beckett, Amazon Reader
